U.S. liberal Democrats urge Biden to seek negotiated Ukraine settlement

24. I think you all are making too much of this

I am 100% Pro Ukraine, anti-Russia. I think that the annex of Crimea should be removed and /all/ the land taken by Russia should be reclaimed by Ukraine.

That said, I read the letter, and I see this: "For this reason, we urge you to pair the military and economic support the United States has provided to Ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire," the Democrats' letter said.

What bothers me about this statement is this: Uh, we /are/ doing all these things now. Right? Is this not what we are already doing? Military, Economic, and Diplomatic support? So it seems to me a lot of people are bitching about the squad suggesting that we do what we are already doing. ...?

To me, this seems to me to be more media manipulation, to make it seem like the Democrats are having a huge internal fight. I'm trying to do that 'critical thinking' thing here. Looking at what is being said, about what, and how it is reported and seeing if it makes sense or not.

I don't see that. Did I miss something? (I really dislike how some people, including my ex-husband, seems to love to jump all over anything the Progressive wing does. With Glee!, even though he actually likes AOC a lot).

In this current event, I just don't see the big deal, and I don't see a reason for internal fighting because one wing of the party wrote a letter like this.

OK, I've got my protective suit on, ready for incoming criticism!
